For several weeks past the Lepis lit ore of Virgiaia has been in extra Msston, the chief purpose of which waa to bring alxxit a settlement of the State debt upon terms equit able to the bondholders, who it eem axe foreigners, and within the power of the State to pay. After considerable time spent in cooler ing with the bondholders they have failed to agree, the demands ot tbe said bondholders beinr un reasonable and beyond the ability Of the State to comply with. The Whig, in summing up the matter, (ires the following as the State's position : Aiter all, thongb, the confer eo.ee was fortunate for tbe State and the Democratic party, which really ia the State. The world sees that Virginia baa been anxious to compromise with her creditors on an equitable, honest, and fair basis. Her overtures have, however, been refcsedf and terms have been ex acted of her which she could not poa&ihlj comply with without sac rj firing her pabiic schools, her un fortunate insane, and her noble heroes who were really to give up home,, property and life itself, in defense, -no rea-souaoie person would expect this of her ; and now the last taint ot repudiation is re stored from her. She is forced to . ataJte self-preserratioB her first and toss prominent principle, and all factions of tbe Democracy, repre i satin r salt does the wealth and intelligence of the State, will here after be salted is guarding her in- --.' tTfsts and welfare.

Ti ea-- Trenton was a busy place "ii Sat urday last. Cotton chopping has brought out some oi the dimes that have been hidden away these many days. How polite, accommodating aud smiling are our merchants on these cash times ! Why they can smile a shilling ad the way from1 the customer's vest pocket to their tills: then smile again for another of these little indispensable neces saries: then a Thank yon. call again . The .-iteamer Trent, wit h the col ored excursionists, arrived at Tren ton on Thursday evening last with their band and peramhalated our streets and discoarsed some good music. We learn that Trenton was pretty well visited that night by our country colored friends, who came to see the sights and hear the music: but we are inclined to be lieve they eie too short of dimes to make tin- affair a succes- fin. in , ial!y. Some States have appointed arbor days lor planting trees. Would it not be a good idea lor some of our careless farmers to ap point a day to destroy trees T Why some of their ditch banks are so covered with saplings that it would pay to rhop them tor fire wood, while even corn fields would be mistaken by strangers for a vast persimmon nursery. Now let us have a day to destroy trees. Land owners ought to see to it that their tenants thin out these bush nurse r:es. We heard seM-ral of our farmers peaking of a remarkable labor saving plow, the invention of one of our Polloksville citizens. They g.iy it is a real success; that any ordinary farm hand can use it; that it will bar or 6craie off both sides of a row of cotton at one time. Then, by a change of parts, can be so adjusted as to side up the same row with; nicety at the same time. Then, with another change of parts, it can be used to cut down and chop up the stalks of corn or cotton ot the former year's crop. Cotton can be cultivated with it until it is over fourteen inches high without injury to the plant. We hope the inventor, Mr. Lewis Whitty, will, as soon as he can erfect his ar rangements, make speedy efforts to get so uselnl an implement into gencr i! use. Aurora Items.

Dr. Alph Fields of Kiuston. has located in town. The doctor is a oung man that has had the advan tage of the best schools of the countiy and is a quiet, sober young man. and we think will build up an extensive pi actiee in this section. Our tanners seem to be well up ith their work, most all have chopped theu- cotton, and the pres ent outlook is hopeful.

Tenderly back came the murtb d order: "See if the mule is hurt, and if it i arrest the man." A professorship o f sanitary en gineering has-been established in the Imperial Institute, at Tokio. by the governnieHt of Japan.

It is true that this debt is against the county in her coporate capacity, but remember that, you are the people, and it is as much y our debt in proportion to the property you own as if it were .in individual j debt. Tins deb; you are asked to ; pay in four annual installments. You will be told that a special tax is to be U x led to I mid a jail and that that will be burden enough upon you. liitoi t unately that is so, but that burden bears equally i hard upon ihose holding claims ait'ainst the count, ami ;t is no reason why they should not have j their iiione to enable them the j bette: to stand that burden.

'cv, fur when she has been perfectly well I h ive known tobacco smoke to prostrate her with a severe headache, and of course, she is much more sensitive to it now. That is one instance of smoking in terfering with a minister's useful ness, and I know there are many Invalids, as well as-t others, who dislike the odor of tobacco exceed ingly Then there is another thing ' that 1 am trreatly trouble about. My ( lass of boys are just reaching young manhood, and they are be ginning to put on manly airs and atl'ect manly habits. One of these. of course, is smoking, and 1 am using all my influence against it for many reason. It is unhealthy for growing boys to poison them selves with nicotine, and I look on their cigarettes as just so much poison. Ethan is only sixteen, and he is really injuring himself by smoking. and he is really injuring' himseil by smoking, and 1 am afraid he will feel the effects of it all his life. They cannot afford it either, lor they are scarcely mak ing their own living yet, and they ought not to be able to throw away the money that this indulgence costs. I say all 1 can against smoking, but they hold up Mr. I tn berger as an example, and then, of course, my lips are sealed out of respect to my pastor. 1 wish he would look at the matter as I do. and I feel persuaded be would give the habit up, though I know it would cost a great deal of self sacrifice at first. It will injure him tinally, though his constitution may be strong enough not to show the effects of it for some time. He is always smoking. I see him with a cigar when he gets up in the morning, another after breakfast, more smoking while be is studying or walking, and another cigar in j t he evening. His room, his books I and every thing he owns are sat I muted with the smeil of cigars. Now 1 have finished dusting. Will yi ui come upstairs V' The retreating footsteps died away am! Mr. I'mberger went slowly into the study. Sitting down b.-foie his desk he thought over t lie con versat ion he had just heard: There w as hut otic course open to him. 1 f his pet indulgence stood between him and his instru mentality in bringing about even one soul's conversion it must be sacrificed, aud he made this prayer ful resolve. The effort it cost him to break away from the chains of habit that years had forged about him only a confirmed smoker can appreciate, but he persevered aud was reward ed for it when he found his useful ness extended. People wondered why he gave his cigars up, but he never told any oue of the lesson he had learned that bright June morning. :m00KLYX 1.E1TEK. To the numerous questions that have been asked concerning the latest styles in stationery and em broidery, I would say that the first can not be too plain, and the last too aruate. Plain white, heavy, somewhat rough paper with rag ged edges, is now used by those who follow the newest fashions, barge, square envelopes with a wax seal are most in vogue, thongb some ladies affect the narrow ob long envelope, edged with gold or silver, with paper to correspond of ccurse. As this is strictly a letter for women. I might as well answer a few more questions that have been asked me about complexion beau tiliers," and medicines for pimpled and swarthy skins. My advise is, don't touch one of them. If proper bathing, healthlul diet, and judi cious exercise do not keep the com- ! plexion clear, nothing will. A reli- a'''e phy sician can sometimes pre scribe a simple remedy, iiat ar senic should nover be touched, I had almost said, doctor or no doctor. Its effect upon the consti tution is deadly. I have known. some . tragic enects lrom the en- : ueavor to cure pimples among men i as well as women. There is but one sale way, and tha: is to keep the general health as good as pos sible. The old say ing that '-a bad tenant is better out than in'' has much sound sense in it. The effect of arsenic seems to be to drive the poison-back into tbe blood, and in many cases under my own personal observation to so attack the vital organs as to cause death. "Is there any safe preparation to keep the hair from falliug out?'' another lady asks. I know of one excellent preventive. This is ten cents worth of cantharides, dis solved in half a pint of water. Irritate the scalp by a vigorous use of the hair brush, and then apply the lotion, being sure to rub ill well. 1 ha e known this treatment to be very successful, and it can not possibly do any harm. Ammo nia should neter be used iu cleans ing the scalp. It will certainly burn the roots of the hair. A bit of borax dissolved iu warm water, with the addition of some sale soap is al! that is necessary. Eleanor Kirk. The Accused Was Dismissed. Judge This colored gentleman says you called him a bow legged gorilla. Accused I ib Ui't lemiinber hav ing done so: but now that 1 take a good look at him. 1 think that probably I did. Judge to colored gentleman Perhaps the aciused didn't mean you when he spoke of a bow legged gorilla. Colored gentleman Yes, he did mean me, boss. When a gentle man talks about a bow-legged ger rilla he am bound ter mean me. He can't mean noboddy else. Texas Siftiwjs. ''This Transcontinental Quick Dispatch is a soulless, swindling, grinding monopoly, isn't i; ."' asked old llvsoii. "You bet your life that's just what it is," replied old Gunny baggs. liI've been trying to get into that concern for three years or more, and not a dollar of stock will they sell at any figure. Won't let me have a smell. There ought to be some way of getting at these fellows in the courts. They're afraid to let an honest man into their rascally ring. Burdettc. A common trouble with us all is that we fail in our business because we think little of it. INo man truly succeeds in any calling w ho has a poor opinion of it. No man has a good opinion of his business who uses it only to make money out of it. No man can have the best con ception of business wdio does not esteem it for its usefulness. And the higher we go if "higher" and "lower" are proper terms to use in considering the different honorable and useful walks of life the more clearly will it appear that he who t esteems his business tor the living ' or money that is in it must, if (judged by any high standard, bo a failure. Dr. Haygond. A TOrCHINU SONG. This Bong (for the words were set to musteyears sinceiis frequently ; ttri buted to Tom Moore, but the honor of its production belongs to a I.yncta burger, whose grave we often visited in childhood, and w hose family first made known to us its paternity and the eir cumstanciM under wTiich it waa written. The author. Mr. I'ransford Vawter, produced it in 121, when only 2:! years of aKe, and there hardly a doubt that the ho e misadventure which it cele brated led to the intemperate habits which ended his life. Virginian. I'd offer th thrr hand of mine If I could love theo legs, But hearts so -warm, so fond as thine. Should never know distress. My fortune is too hard for thee. It would chill thy dearest joy. I'd rather weep to see the free. Than win thee to destroy. I h-ayp thi'O in thy happiness As one too dear to love As one 1 think of hut to tkes. As wretchedly I rove. And oh! when Sorrow's cup I drink. All bitter though it be, How sweet 'twill be forme to think It holds no drop for thee. And now my dreams an? sadly o'er. Fate bidrv them all depart. And I must leave- my native shore. In brokenness of heart. And . oh' dear one. when far from thee. I'll ne'er know joyaviain; I would not that one thought of me Should feive thy bo.som pain. SCIENCE. Di. Pi own Si-quard, the distin guished French physiologist, who' is well-known iu this country and was at one time a professor in Har vard College, has been chosen to succeed the late Mods. Paul Bert, as president of the Paris Society of Piology . Yanadie acid, which is used in the manufacture of ink, is obtained in this country chiefly from the ! Mammoth gold mine, fifty miles ! north of Tucson. Arizona. Vana j dium is a comparatively rare metal, which was discovered in 1301, but , was little known until twenty years ago. It resembles antimony. A new type of liquid-fuel furnace, 1 for the use of petroleum instead of j coal on steam vessels, has been in vented in Russia. An expermental test with this furnace showed that one pound of petroleum would evap orate more than twice as much water as an equal quanity of coal. The f urnace is the invention of a Russian naval officer. Opossums, which have been com paratively rare on Long Island of late years, appear to be more numer ous theronow than for a long time past. One instance has come to our knowledge of the capture of one of these animals in the cellar of a farm-house in Suffolk county, whither the creature had gone in search of food. More than two huudred new double stars have been discovered in the last five years by Professor G. W. Hough, ot the Dearborn Ob servatory at Chicago. Most of them wore somewhat difficult of measure ment, even with the large refracting telescope of the observatory, which has an object glass eighteen and a half inches in diameter. The presence of bismuth in silver has a tendency to increase the brit tleness of the latter metal. Silver extracted from ore in w hich copper and bismuth are found usually re tains a percentage of bismuth, and is brittle, even when the proportion of bisinuth is small. Pars of such silver are not well adapted for coin age. The Connecticut Agricultural Ex periment Station, which is under the direction of Professor S. "VY. Johnson, of Xew Haven, furnishes analyses of the various fertilizers sold in Connecticut, so that the purchaser of any particular brand may obtain trust worthy informa tion as to the constituents of what he is buying. Analytical examina tions of feeding stuff's are also made at the station. A striking experiment in the combination of colors was perform ed a short time since by Professor Vogel at a meeting oi the Physical Society of Berlin. He wished to demonstrate the incorrectness of the popular notion that yellow and blue, when mixed, always make green. He took two phials, one containing acid yellow, and the other aniline blue. He mingled their contents together, and the result was a mixture, not green in color, but of a fiery red hue. Lights in a Chinese Town. The streets of a Chinese town are entirely nnlighted, so everyone moving about carries a lantern or torch, and a lantern is hung up outside of every temple, house, and shop. Consequently there is an enormous trade done in lanterns of all sizes, from the huge balloons to the tiny little things no bigger than oranges. They are made occasionally of glass, but usually of paper or silk stretched on silk bamboo, and coated with varnish, and the family surnames, shop sign, title of temple, etc., are al ways written w ith red paint on the body of the lantern. The more respeoted the family or shop the more elaborate or solid the lantern and the handsomer the inscription. Men of no respectibility, gamblers, sharpers, and such like, find that the practice makes identification disagreeably easy, and get over the difficulty bv carrying lanterns inscribed with such common sur names as Smith or Brown are with us (WuDg, the equivalent of King, is tnerr commonest surname 1, or they use mottoes which, being translated, would mean, "As you like it," "Children and grandchild ren innumerable," and so on. Lantern-carrying has become such a habit in that country that a Chinaman never dreams of leaving home at night without one, even in the brightest moonlight. Jewish Messenger. An End to Bone Scraping. Edward Shepherd, of Harrisburg, 111., says: "Having received so much benefit from Electric Bitters, I feel it my duty to let Buffering humanity know it. Have had a running sore on my leg for eight years; my doctors told me I would have to have the bone scraped or leg ampu tated. I used, instead, three bottles of Electric Bitters and seven bottles Buck len's Arnica Salve, and my leg is now sound and well. " Electric Bitters are sold at fifty cents a bottle, and Buck len's Arnica Salve at 25c. per box by K. N. Duffy. An accident occurred on the Ohio and Mississippi railroad Saturday morning in which eeveral persons were killed. Good Results Iu Every Cane. D. A. Bradford, wholesale paper deal er of Chattanooga, Tenn , writes that he was seriously afflicted with a severe cold that settled on hia lungs: had tried many remedies without benefit. Deing induced to try Dr. King's New Discov ery for Consumption, did so and was entirely cured by use of a few bottles. Since which time he has used it in his family for all Coughs and Colds with best results. This is the experience of thousands whose lives have been saved by thia Wonderful Discovery.
